Rip Rap (Class A-1)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class A-1 Size Range
Rip Rap in the Class A-1 size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced from tough, weather-resistant stone, Rip Rap is typically sourced from quarries and broken into angular pieces to maximize interlocking strength.
The Class A-1 size range refers to a specific gradation of larger stones, making this material especially effective at dissipating water energy and preventing soil loss in high-flow areas. Its substantial size and weight help anchor it in place, reducing the risk of displacement during storms or heavy runoff. Rip Rap is widely used in both residential and commercial projects for protecting riverbanks, culvert outlets, bridge abutments, and slopes. While its large size makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, it excels in providing long-term stability and robust protection against erosion.
